Technically, I do not see why not assuming that the estate was at fault. You probably should
resign as administrator if you choose to pursue a suit.

You can sue, but you cannot serve as Administrator. An Indiana probate judge would look at this as a clear conflict of interest There are other issues as well. You'd need to get an attorney separate from the attorney handling the estate.
